Fishing gear bearings are crucial for smooth operation and durability. Common types include:
Ball Bearings:
Function: Provide smooth, low-friction rotation.
Advantages: High performance, handling both radial and axial loads.
Application: Used in reels for smooth casting and retrieval.
Roller Bearings:
Function: Handle heavy loads with minimal friction.
Advantages: Increased load capacity compared to ball bearings.
Application: Often found in heavy-duty reels.
Ceramic Bearings:
Function: Offer superior smoothness and corrosion resistance.
Advantages: Lightweight, high durability, and reduced friction.
Application: Used in high-performance or saltwater reels for increased longevity.
